<div id="winchm_template_container">
	<div id="winchm_template_content"><div id="mainSection"><p>Click <b>Options</b> on the <b>View</b> menu to open the <b>Options</b> dialog box. This command is equivalent to clicking the button (<img src="images/tbopt.png" alt="Screen shot of the Options button"/>) on the toolbar.</p>
<h3><a id="dialog_box"></a><a id="DIALOG_BOX"></a>Dialog Box</h3>
<p>In the <b>Options</b> dialog box, you can select or deselect the following options:</p>
<p></p>
<dl>
<dt><a id="Tab_width"></a><a id="tab_width"></a><a id="TAB_WIDTH"></a><b>Tab width</b></dt>
<dd>
<p>The <b>Tab width</b> box controls how tab characters are displayed in any Source window. In the <b>Tab width</b> box, enter the number of spaces that you want to have between each tab setting. (The default setting is 8. For more information about text properties, see <a href="#Bookmark1282">Changing Text Properties</a>.)</p>
</dd>
<dt><a id="Reuse_after_opening_this_many"></a><a id="reuse_after_opening_this_many"></a><a id="REUSE_AFTER_OPENING_THIS_MANY"></a><b>Reuse after opening this many</b></dt>
<dd>
<p>The <b>Reuse after opening this many</b> box controls the number of document, or source, windows that can be open at the same time. If the specified number of source windows has been reached, opening a new window causes an existing window to close. Windows that are marked as tab-dock targets do not close. The last windows to close are the ones you used most recently.</p>
</dd>
<dt><a id="Parse_source_languages"></a><a id="parse_source_languages"></a><a id="PARSE_SOURCE_LANGUAGES"></a><b>Parse source languages</b></dt>
<dd>
<p>If the <b>Parse source languages</b> check box is selected, the text of source code in all Source windows is colored according to a simple parse of the source syntax. To change the colors, in the <b>Colors</b> area of the dialog box, select a syntax element and then click <b>Change</b>. (To turn the syntax colors off in a single Source window, open that window's shortcut menu, click <b>Select source language</b>, and then click <b>&lt;None&gt;</b>.) </p>
</dd>
<dt><a id="Evaluate_on_hover"></a><a id="evaluate_on_hover"></a><a id="EVALUATE_ON_HOVER"></a><b>Evaluate on hover</b></dt>
<dd>
<p>If the <b>Evaluate on hover</b> check box is selected (and the <b>Parse source languages</b> check box is selected as well), symbols in a Source window will be evaluated when you select that window and then hover over a symbol with the mouse. The evaluation is the same as that produced by the <a href="#Bookmark1991"><b>dt (Display Type)</b></a> command. </p>
</dd>
<dt><a id="Enter_repeats_last_command"></a><a id="enter_repeats_last_command"></a><a id="ENTER_REPEATS_LAST_COMMAND"></a><b>Enter repeats last command</b></dt>
<dd>
<p>If the <b>Enter repeats last command</b> check box is selected, you can press the ENTER key at an empty prompt in the <a href="#Bookmark1223">Debugger Command window</a> to repeat the previous command. If you clear this check box, the ENTER key generates a new prompt.</p>
</dd>
<dt><a id="Automatically_scroll"></a><a id="automatically_scroll"></a><a id="AUTOMATICALLY_SCROLL"></a><b>Automatically scroll</b></dt>
<dd>
<p>The <b>Automatically scroll </b>check box controls the automatic scrolling that occurs when new text is sent to the Debugger Command window. If you want to turn off this feature, clear the <b>Automatically scroll </b>check box. For more information about this scrolling, see <a href="#Bookmark1265">Using Debugger Commands</a>.</p>
</dd>
<dt><a id="Workspace_Prompts"></a><a id="workspace_prompts"></a><a id="WORKSPACE_PROMPTS"></a><b>Workspace Prompts</b></dt>
<dd>
<p>In the <b>Workspace Prompts</b> area, you can click one of three options to determine when and how frequently the workspace is saved in WinDbg.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>If you click <b>Always ask</b>, when a workspace changes (such as when a debugging session ends), the debugger displays the <b>Workspace save</b> dialog box where you can save the workspace.</p>
<p>In the <b>Workspace save</b> dialog box, if you click <b>Don't ask again</b>, WinDbg resets the <b>Workspace Prompts </b>option to <b>Never save</b> or <b>Always save</b>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>  If you click <b>Always save</b>, the workspace is saved automatically whenever it changes. </p>
</li>
<li>
<p>  If you click <b>Never save</b>, the workspace is not saved when it changes, and you are not prompted to save it.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</dd>
<dt><a id="QuickEdit_Mode"></a><a id="quickedit_mode"></a><a id="QUICKEDIT_MODE"></a><b>QuickEdit Mode</b></dt>
<dd>
<p>If the <b>QuickEdit Mode</b> check box is selected, you can right-click an item to copy or paste, depending on the window selection state. When you clear this check, QuickEdit is disabled and you can right-click an item to open a shortcut menu for the window. You cannot give individual windows different settings; the QuickEdit setting applies globally to all windows. By default, this box is selected. The QuickEdit setting is saved in the current workspace. </p>
</dd>
<dt><a id="Colors"></a><a id="colors"></a><a id="COLORS"></a><b>Colors</b></dt>
<dd>
<p>To change the color of the source text that is displayed, select an item from the <b>Colors</b> area and then click <b>Change</b>. Select a color, or select a custom color, and then click <b>OK</b>.</p>
<p>In the <b>Colors</b> menu, you can change the colors of the following items: </p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>The first ten items represent text in the <a href="#Bookmark1227">Disassembly window</a> and the <a href="#Bookmark1228">Source window</a>. </p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The <b>Changed data text</b> item represents data entries that have been changed (for example, in the <a href="#Bookmark1232">Registers window</a>). </p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The ten <b>Source </b><i>Xxx</i> items control the colors that are used for syntax elements in the Source window. </p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The remaining items refer to different kinds of text in the Debugger Command window.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</dd>
</dl>
<p>These color changes take effect when you click <b>OK</b>. To discard these changes, click <b>Cancel</b>.</p></div></div>
